Remote desktop connection Windows SBS 2003

By partillery ·
We are trying to setup a work server so we can access it from home.
We have 1 office PC using 2003 small business server connecting through a at&t dsl modem/router. Home computer running windows vista

Ive read the article http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-10878_11-6155394.html

At the Client addressing step how do I decided between DHCP or use static IP addressing? What is the difference.
IF DHCP where do i get the IP address from. If using the static IP addressing where do i get the IP's from.

With static IP addressing, you define it yourself

by robo_dev In reply to Remote desktop connectio ...

The address you define should be unique, and not overlap with an address that the DHCP server might provide. So if the DHCP server assigns addresses from 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.100, you need to set your static address to something above that range, like 192.168.0.101.

You will also have to manually set the correct subnet mask, DNS server, and default gateway.
